What Truly Is Salvation?

January 29, 2021

Ponder This

What is salvation? Not a creed. You say, “Well, I believe the plan of salvation.” You can believe the plan of salvation and go straight to Hell. You’re not saved by the plan of salvation, you’re saved by the Man of salvation.

Salvation is not a creed. It’s not a code. You say, “Well, I believe if you live right, you’ll go to heaven.” If you could be saved by living right, then Calvary was a blunder. It’s not a cause. You say, “I’m a member of a good, fundamental, Bible-believing church.” It’s not any of these things. It’s Christ.

Salvation is not believing something; it is receiving Someone. The true Gospel is one that centers on Jesus Christ.

Practice This

Ask God to give you a divine opportunity to boldly share Jesus with someone today. Maybe it’s a co-worker, maybe it’s your child. Maybe it’s a stranger that sits next to you at a restaurant. Be strong and of good courage, God will go before you to prepare the way.
